He wasn't trying to convince you to do anything except to reconsider the views you absorbed from your culture without conscious thought
- quacked 5y agoThat is an excellent way to phrase it. The only other piece of writing that I know of that has the same "reconsider your unconscious beliefs" effect is the now-dead blog "The Last Psychiatrist".

If so wouldn't other books or even other characters on the same book have opposing or different (yet still radical) views on the topic, instead of most of his characters all having really similar views?
